In the just-concluded CBA playoffs semifinals, the Guangdong men's basketball team led the Liaoning men's basketball team with a score of 98-82 with a decisive victory, and was only one step away from the finals. Although the result of the game was eye-catching enough, the speech of the head coach of the Guangdong team Du Feng after the game was like a bomb, which once again detonated the field of public opinion. Every sentence of Du Feng in the interview seems to have been carefully designed, not only naming his opponent Yang Ming, but also cleverly incorporating a subtle taunt, showing a psychological war of "killing people and punishing hearts" beyond the court.
In front of the camera, Du Feng did not directly evaluate the performance of the Liaoning team, but chose a more subtle way, he first praised the teamwork of his team and the individual performance of the players, and indirectly reflected the shortcomings of the Liaoning team in this regard. What's even more intriguing is that he mentioned Yang Ming by name, which seemed to be praising the other party's coaching ability, but in fact, there was something in his words, implying doubts about Liaoning's strategy and confidence in his tactical advantages. This kind of verbal "softness and rigidity" is undoubtedly exerting psychological pressure on the opponent in an attempt to take the lead before the next match.
In the face of Du Feng's remarks, the reaction of Yang Ming, the head coach of the Liaoning team, became the focus of everyone's attention. Yang Ming not only needs to find a way to deal with the strategy of the Guangdong team at the technical and tactical level, but also needs to give enough encouragement to the players at the psychological level to avoid external interference affecting the morale of the army. How to stay calm under pressure, and even use the opponent's provocation to transform into team motivation, will be the next urgent topic for Yang Ming to solve.
Du Feng's series of operations not only showed the depth of his strategy as a coach, but also raised the psychological warfare between CBA coaches to a new level. In the past, the CBA focused more on the confrontation between players and the competition of skills and tactics, but now, the exchange of wisdom between coaches has also become a part of the game. This kind of competition outside the "battlefield" undoubtedly makes the CBA events more colorful, and also prompts the coaching team to pay more attention to the application of psychological tactics in addition to strategic deployment.
With the deepening of the series, the confrontation between Guangdong and Liaoning is no longer just a simple basketball game, it is about tactical innovation, player state adjustment and extreme challenges of psychological endurance. In the next game, the audience is looking forward to not only the wonderful performance of the players on the field, but also how the coaches of both sides lay out on the tactical board and how they fight on the psychological level.
Du Feng's "murderous" remarks undoubtedly added more highlights to the CBA playoffs. It not only tests the skills and will of the players on both sides, but also a contest of psychological quality. On this stage, the winner must not only win in the skill, but also in the mentality. As the competition progresses, we look forward to seeing more stories of intelligence, courage and team spirit, all of which will be revealed in future matchups.
